We’re opening again very soon! Come in and see us!
We’re reopening the Museum on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 May, 2.00-5.00pm
(subject to government guidelines)
After that, we’ll be open every Wed, Thurs, Sat and Sun, 2.00-5.00pm until the end of September, as well as bank holiday Mondays.
So please do come in to say hello and have a look at the exhibits and the wide selection of greeting cards and small gifts in our shop.
Volunteers needed!
Please come and join our friendly team of volunteers who welcome visitors to the Museum. It’s a great way of meeting people from the village and visitors from afar. You don’t need detailed knowledge of our collection; you’ll get plenty of support. Time commitment is not extensive, just an afternoon session a couple of times a month, until the end of September.
For a look round the Museum and a chat about what’s involved in volunteering please contact:

Edith Stedman
To mark the 60th anniversary of the Museum’s first opening by Edith, we have a new display board celebrating the major contribution she made to Dorchester Abbey and the village, for which she was awarded an OBE. We are also reissuing Edith’s charming and amusing account of Dorchester life in the 1950s and 1960s, A Yankee in an English Village, with added photos and explanatory notes. Further details in next month’s Dorchester News.
